HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Weekend was a huge success with communities across the country taking part in celebrations to mark this unprecedented achievement and to thank Her Majesty for 70 years of service.
The Platinum Jubilee was cause for huge celebration by the people of Kent and Medway during the Jubilee weekend. Communities came together to mark this historic occasion. From street parties to religious services, picnics to parades and the lighting of beacons, there was something for everyone.
